DMOZ Advertising?

[African Safari]

If DMOZ is made up of volunteers, etc. Who is paying for the advertising? And why in the world do they need or want to advertise? Obviously, they're overwhelmed as it is.

where are they advertising at?

they are owned by AOL

I didn't know about the AOL (the most over advertising company ever), well that makes sense.

I noticed the DMOZ ad here: http://www.thumbshots.com/

Thats just a free link the site has put up (the thumbshots provided by that company are based on sites in DMOZ database, which is probably why they provide the link).

DMOZ no advertises.
